These options are all optional and not integral to the game and people decide whether they want to spend or not. It's not like people are brainwashed into buying stuff and you'd have to be some fking idiot to think they are.
Op, you do not HAVE to open lockboxes often, you do not HAVE to do any of that stuff or buy it just because it is in the game. The advantage people get is minimal and if it bothers you then tough ****, get a grip.
Scrub warriors will always whine about everything being free and how a game company is supposed to just magically host a game for free.
Op you may as well have just put "im a broke scrub and im not going to take it anymore".
Go outside, raise your arms and shout it.
K den.
Do not try and bend the K den. That's impossible. Instead... only try to realize the truth.
There is no k den.

Exactly.

I see a critical flaw in that logic of yours. You may have payed to get there faster before someone else (ie: Boosters), but eventually the players who don't pay will get to your level as well and the universe balances itself out as a result. But remember, getting the SP sooner to use proto gear using boosters doesn't guarantee a win in an actual 1v1 encounter. There are players out there who can wreck protos with militia if they have sufficient gameplay experience and know what they're doing. Also, you can officially disqualify boosters as part of this argument because now with Daily Missions you can get 1-Day Active Boosters (whether regular or Omega) for free if you grind enough missions. In this one week alone since 1.10 deployed, I managed to earn a 1-Day Omega Active Booster and a 1-Day Active Booster without paying any AUR in any way, shape, or form. For anyone who can grind for a long time in a single day, this is a great way to progress quickly without paying anything. You still can't get the 3-Day, 7-Day, or 30-Day variants for free, but at least it helps those players who are strapped for cash but willing to grind.
There's a weekly cap anyway so it is completely flawed and moot.
Nothing but ramblings from some kid or skint hooray who doesn't have a clue.

Then we got balance hotfixes which stabilized the player base and started to generate a small number of return players.
That wasn't enough though, so Ratatatatata convinced CCP to allow more client side patches, but there had to a monetary incentive to do so - after all CCP has to pay Sony for each patch deployed so you see what we get - a patch that generates revenue to justify the deployment; you get AUR stuffs as well in the market.
It's not a conspiracy at all - it's business and I have no problem with a business generating revenue. I work for a business - if my company generates revenue I keep my job. Nuff said.
EDIT: Not saying this applies to the OP; I don't understand people that expect CCP to give away their intellectual property for free. To me, its' enough you can play the game without spending a dime, and if you decide to spend money that is a great thing. You don't get pay to win - most of these changes are side grades to save the time sinks. how do you know ccp has to pay money for every patch deployed? source or are you just making stuff up? Have you even read the standard contract that sony offers most 3rd party developers? I have read it before and i do not remember anything about charging for patches. From what I last heard from CCP, they don't get charged at all from the looks of it.
Even if they don't have to pay anything to SONY, anyone who thinks some guys are going to put time into a game for nothing are completely detached from reality.
There are costs anyway. Electric isn't free and people don't work for nothing last time i checked and there will be more.
You can be as sure about that as we are about the law of thermodynamics, nothing is free.

He does have a concern that he is entitled to speak his mind about. All I did was point out a flaw or two in his argument which I'm also entitled to do. Besides, I don't want this thread to devolve into name-calling. Otherwise it will get locked and that will be a shame.
More an observation than names.
If the op is not then this thread would not exist.

You can be as sure about that as we are about the law of thermodynamics, nothing is free. True enough. There is overhead to consider such as Payroll Expense, Utilities, Health Insurance (if any), Travel Expense, etc. I have done a lot of bookkeeping in my youth for various businesses and I will tell you that businesses need to make a lot of money just to stay afloat. You will be amazed at the expenses.
Exactly.
